Genetic HL w/ External Ear Abnormalities & Eye Abnormalities Flashcards
what is mandibulofacial dysostosis
treacher collins syndrome
what is the heredity of treacher collins syndrome
AD w/ almost 100% penetrance
majority are deletions or nonsense mutations
60% of cases are new mutations with the father tending to be older
is treacher collins syndrome a 1 & 2 branchial arch syndrome
yes
what is a deletion mutation
codon is incorrectly read
what is nonsense mutations
stop codon instead of another codon
how do you read 5q31.3
chrom 5, long arm q, region 33, band 3
what is a teratogenic
any agent that causes an abnormality following fetal exposure during pregnancy
only causes a mutation in a developing embryo or fetus in the environment
clinical features of treacher collins is characterized by
abnormalities of facial structures formed form first pharyngeal arch
coloboma, fish mouth
FIRST PHARYNGEAL ARCH SYNDROME
treacher collins syndrome
what is atresia
small ear canal
what are audiologic findings of treacher collins
malformed pinna and EAC atresia, absent or malformed ossicles
mild to moderate bilateral conductive HL in >50% of cases
can you fix treacher collins with a baha?
yes
what is the differential diagnosis of treaacher collins
oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAV) disorder
when facial structures are not put together normally and they look off
dysostosis
what is BOR
Affects structures developing from branchial arches, ears, & kidneys
branchio oto renal syndrome
second most common cause of AD HL
BOR
associated with a transcription factor involved in development of the inner ear and certain kidney cells
BOR
what is Mondini’s malformation
cochlea doesn’t complete the full turns
have severe-profound snhl
what are characteristic findings of BOR
AD transmission with variable expressivity
renal abnormalities with varying severity
unilateral/bilateral preauricular pits
external ear anomalies
HL (conductive, mixed, or snhl
what is BOR differential diagnosis
alport’s
what is a characteristic of chromosomal disorder?
have many different systems involved
multifactorial inheritance pattern:
affects many genes and environmental factors
